Some kids just seem to be born as old people. As soon as they’re out of diapers, they start taking up mannerisms and interests that would be more suited to their grandpa. As a parent, I’m sure it’s not exactly a problem when your child turns out like this—indeed, you likely had a lot to do with it yourself. At the same time, though, it can be a novelty to those who are more used to kids being a bit more juvenile.

This was the case when Twitter learned of a precocious young lad with a passion for farming who recently visited a farm machinery convention with his parents. Chatting with a salesman about various vehicles, people were impressed with those on both sides of the conversation. Sometimes, it doesn’t take that much effort to appreciate the interests of children, especially when they try to take an adult approach.
